Active Transportation Advisory Group recruiting community representatives for 2023
August 8, 2023 - 2:30pm
City administration is recruiting up to four new members from the community for appointment to the Active Transportation Advisory Group (ATAG). ATAG weighs in on policies, programs and initiatives to improve community and infrastructure needs to increase options for cycling, walking and other modes of active transportation.
“We’re looking for people from the community who want to help us explore options for active transportation, such as cycling and walking,” says Jay Magus, Director of Transportation.
There are opportunities for people across Saskatoon to shift short trips from driving to walking and biking by creating safe active-transportation networks. The Active Transportation Advisory Group aims to build and strengthen connections between community groups, organizations, residents and the City of Saskatoon, to support the successful implementation of the Active Transportation Plan in Saskatoon.
To apply and for more information, visit saskatoon.ca/atag or contact atag@saskatoon.ca. The deadline for applications is on Sunday August 27, 2023.

Modifications completed at the intersection of Clarence Avenue and Main Street to improve safety
August 4, 2023 - 1:00pm
-
Right turn only lanes for drivers on Main Street at Clarence Avenue. Drivers on Main Street are now required to turn right at the intersection and are no longer able to drive straight through or turn left onto Clarence Avenue.
-
A pedestrian signal on the South side of Clarence Avenue to allow crossings on both the North and South side of the intersection.
-
Cyclist push buttons on Main Street to activate the pedestrian signals. Cyclists are still permitted to cross Clarence Avenue or turn left onto Clarence Avenue.
Following a traffic review on Clarence and Main Street, modifications have been made to improve the safety of the intersection for all road users. Modifications include:
The City of Saskatoon completed a traffic review at Clarence Avenue and Main Street last year after several residents reached out with concerns about safety at the intersection. Residents of Nutana and Varsity View had previously identified the Clarence Avenue and Main Street intersection as a necessary location for safety improvements through the City’s Neighbourhood Traffic Review process.
An on-site engagement event was held with residents to discuss the recommended changes in August 2022 and a broader engagement event was held in February 2023. City Council approved the modifications to Clarence Avenue and Main Street at its March 29, 2023, Public Meeting.
For more information on the intersection’s modifications, including tips on use, visit https://www.saskatoon.ca/engage/clarence-avenue-and-main-street-intersection-improvements.

City Administration to set stage for rollout of variable cart garbage utility in 2024
August 2, 2023 - 4:00pm
On Tuesday, August 8, City Administration will present an approval report to the Environment, Utilities and Corporate Services Committee (EU&CS) in order to purchase the new smaller sized carts for the City’s upcoming variable waste utility launching in 2024.
As previously directed by Council, the funding source for black cart garbage services will shift from property taxes to a utility model in 2024. Three different black cart sizes will be available to homes with curbside collection.
“We look forward to providing residents cart size options that reflect their household waste needs,” says Brendan Lemke, Director of Water and Waste Operations. “Following the successful launch of the city-wide green cart program, many residents are already noticing a smaller amount of garbage in their black carts. The variable utility model means that households will have more control over their costs and only pay for the waste they actually produce.”
A dedicated report on program implementation will be presented to the EUCS Committee this fall. This report will include information on cart size options, cart swap requests, timelines and proposed rates for the garbage utility.
Garbage collection will remain bi-weekly year-round. To view your collection calendar, visit saskatoon.ca/collectioncalendar or download the Saskatoon Waste Wizard app.

New John A. Macdonald Road name proposed: means “good relationship” in Cree
July 26, 2023 - 7:45pm
- August 9, 2023: Standing Policy Committee on Planning, Development and Community Services to consider the recommendation to approve the name
- August 30, 2023: City Council to consider the recommendation to approve the renaming and to direct a Street Name Change Bylaw
- September 27, 2023: City Council to consider the approval of Street Name Change Bylaw
- Fall/Winter 2023: Street sign and map changes
To recognize the City’s commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, City Council approved on June 28, 2021, the process to rename John A. Macdonald Road, to acknowledge the ongoing harm in the community experienced by Residential School Survivors.
Residential schools took Indigenous children away from their families, cultures and languages to assimilate them – so they would no longer exist as distinct peoples – and were responsible for the hunger, neglect, abuse and death of thousands of Indigenous children in Canada. Indigenous families today continue to experience this pain, grief, loss and inter-generational trauma.
“The City is committed to raising awareness and understanding of residential schools and their ongoing impacts,” says Melissa Cote, Director, Indigenous Initiatives. “We recognize that John A. Macdonald, the first prime minister of Canada, played a significant role in the development of Canada’s Indian residential school system which created and continues to create many harms for Indigenous families.”
Since Council’s direction in 2021, significant work has taken place to rename the road and there is important work still to do. The City has been meeting with Indigenous leaders, Residential School Survivors, Elders, Knowledge Keepers and youth, the Saskatoon Intercultural Association, members from the Chinese community, teachers from wâhkôhtowin School and many others to recommend a new name which will be presented to the Civic Naming Committee on August 1, 2023.
The road name that will be proposed to the Civic Naming Committee is miyo-wâhkôhtowin Road – a Cree word meaning good (miyo) relationship (wâhkôhtowin).
“The proposed name reflects the theme of Reconciliation and was thoughtfully and carefully chosen after listening to and learning from the community and the people that continue to be impacted by residential schools and the legacy of John A. Macdonald,” Cote explains. “Residential schools contributed to a breakdown in communities and relationships and division; good relationships will bring us together.”
After the Civic Naming Committee, the next steps in the approval process for the renaming, are:
Throughout the renaming journey, the City has engaged with John A. Macdonald Road property owners and residents and this evening held a meeting to inform them of the proposed name and provide an update on the renaming process. The City will support property owners and residents with having their address changed including approved associated costs. More information on how to access support will be available directly for property owners and residents in the upcoming months.

- No increases for inflation in street cleaning and sweeping program
- No increases for funding for bus stop snow removal
- No increases for training funding for Saskatoon Transit
Saskatoon City Council’s Governance and Priorities Committee(GPC), comprised of the Mayor and all City Councillors, made significant progress today at the second of three planned Special Budget Meetings to reduce the projected funding gap the City would face in the 2024-2025 Multi-Year Business Plan and Budget.
After reductions of $21.6 million in 2024 and $1.6 million in 2025, the remaining gap to be addressed in future budget meetings has been lowered to $29.2 million and $20.05 million.
So far, GPCs reductions if left unmitigated would translate into a 9.96% property tax increase for 2024 and 6.17% in 2025 -- that’s down from the original starting projected property tax rates of 17.33% and 6.25% respectively.
The Administration presented several reports, from which GPC recommended the following measures be integrated into the 2024/2025 Preliminary 2024/2025 Multi-Year Business Plan and Budget:
There is still much more work to do: GPC will discuss further budget reductions at another Special Budget Meeting scheduled on August 15. At this meeting, deferred business line reports relating to Community Support, Saskatoon Fire, Environmental Health, Taxation and General Revenue, Land Development and Arts, Culture and Events Venues will be considered. Additional business lines reports relating to Corporate Support & Revenue, Recreation and Culture and Utilities are also planned to be presented at that time There may be additional Special Budget Meetings planned.
Council will also request that the Saskatoon Police Board of Commissioners and the Saskatoon Library Board put forward their respective draft budgets earlier than they normally would so that they can also be incorporated into future budget discussions.
An additional motion was passed to create a working group of Administration and Council members to meet with the Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce and the North Saskatoon Business Association to further discuss each group’s recommendations on reducing the 2024/2045 starting funding gap.
City Council will finalize the 2024/2025 Multi-Year Business Plan and Budget this November at its final budget review and deliberations.
